Help setting up backup retention scheme

I would like to do the following:
1. Create a full backup once a month, with daily incremental backups in between the fill backups
2. Retain the last 3 months of backups

If I set my scheme to "Incremental backup scheme" and select 30 as the number of backups in this set (with a daily schedule), this does #1 above. However, it says it will retain the latest one set of backups, and unfortunately that number is not configurable. Is there a way to do this? Or am I stuck with only being able to retain one previous set (which in this case would be 2 months, not 3)?

  • Hello Mdaily733,
    Sorry that the backup scheme can't retain the last 3 months of backups.
    Based on your settings (select 30 as the number of backups in this set), it will delete all backups of the first month when all backups of the second month are completed. So, it can only retain the latest 1 month of backups.
